Is the 2021 Cadillac CT5-V a BETTER sport sedan than a BMW M340i?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 тра 2021
- The NEW CT5-V has a bit of different performance twist from Cadillac. Normally this would be the top trim but it actually replaces the V Sport from the previous generation. On the outside you will find some V-series touches from the grill, wheels, brakes and rear bumper. On the inside you will be greeted to a full leather interior, sport steering wheel and 10in infotainment system. Under the hood is a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 that pumps out 360HP & is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2021 Cadillac CT5-V a BETTER sport sedan than a BMW M340i?

Cadillac is coming on strong. CT5-V is looking real good. 👍
Heck yeah!
“Don’t stick anything in there, it will hurt” ... 😂😂😂.
You’re the best Joe 👍👍.
Thanks for letting me share the laughs and the cars with you!
Hey Joe, I loved the camera angle you used on this review and the road you chose to drive. It really gave a true feel for the car vs taking it out on the highway or busy residential roads. Well done! More test drives like this in these higher performance vehicles please.
"A little over 10 inches of visual pleasure" - that's what every guy wishes they could say 😂😂
You know it!
Quite a few ladies,too....
Some guys can
It’s what every girl wishes to hear 😂😂😂
Joe, your a great driver, seeing you dealing with all those turns like a real professional! Also great job to Lori!
Setting the standard for outstanding vehicle reviews 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Joe & keep ‘em coming.
As always, a huge tip of the 🎩 to Lori!
I just got back from the pharmacy, and there was a bright red CT5-V that had the black chrome & black wheels, parked outside. 😮 👀 🔥
Guy was definitely 70+ yrs old lol
Always been a fan of Cadillac
Same I loved the Escalade CT6 and CTS
Nice review and professional grade camera work! I just saw one of these a couple days ago. Very sharp looking car, even looks better in person. Thanks for your insightful reviews of the various cars out there!
That is so true. You can literally look at your Cadillac all day long
Very true!
I love all these uploads, Joe. You're killing it.
I also love Cadillac too. (Even though no-one asked). I'm more of a Mercedes-Benz/BMW person, but still, this CT5-V ain't bad.
Great review as always, I'd take this over several in it's class. And decent MPG at 18.
Another great car review on yet another beautiful car. That white looks awesome too! Love the seats & body. The grill and headlights are nice too. Thanks buddy!
Driving a white, gold, or silver Cadillac (In that order) brings you the best luck in Las Vegas. Ask the old man who knows. Thanks for another great video.
Summit White is the way to go on a CT5 Sport or CT5-V. It looks so sexy, classy, and certain angles it looks really Sporty especially with the black accents and beautifully blacked out grille.
Thx again for the great review, i was waiting for this car. Hope not too long for the black wing review by the best honest channel on UA-cam.
You are so very welcome! We really appreciate your support!
As far as looks, I like the CT5 V, over the M340i, especially the Cadillac Grilles
what the m340i is way better its better sounding, faster, better handling and better comfort. The ct5-v is the worst sports sedan you can buy in its segment. The g70, c43, s4, m340i and is500 are all better cars.
@@spencersynek8543 Agree to disagree
Spencer doesn't know sht LOL
@@dskrilla17 bro the CT5-V is the bottom of its class for a reason sorry to offend all the caddy fanboys but its true ever since the new GM of caddy came in its gotten a lot worse. Hopefully the ct5-v and ct4-v blackwing will help the company but the ct5-v is ass
@@spencersynek8543 I test drove the m340i and personally I didn't like the steering wheel or the level of comfort and interior space the car provides. I'm 5'11 and I felt like I needed a bigger car like the type S or ctv5.
Very nice looking car and thanks again for team awesome giving us a great review 👍
Awesome Looking Sedan Joe, Also I Totally In Love With This Luxury Cadillac Sedan. I Totally Love The Design & The Interior.
Great American sport sedan! The Blackwing can t get here soon enough! This one is about my speed, though. Thanks for the review, Joe! Lori, thank you for all you do. The camera work is outstanding, especially considering you don't use a tripod!
Man I'm dying for those ON POWER CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing reviews.
Same here brother!
Never let us down on the reviews!
That really means so much!
Killing it with the uploads Joe! 🔥
Thanks Troy for letting me bring it to you!
Exactly probs and respect to him for doing this
@@yes8032 thanks man!
@@RaitisRides you’re always welcome man 🙏
Nice video as always Joe and Lori!
Great channel,really informative.
Such a awesome car! Got mine on order but plant is closed till end of June so will likely turn into a 2022 V after the Blackwings are made in July. Great review 👍
Thank you! this is literally my dream car!
If Cadillac would just put a smaller version of the escalade infotainment in here, it'd be golden.
@Joseph Payton 😆 I mean like a scaled down Version. But tbh, what they have in there isn't terrible.
Key words from D Tay.........”smaller version”
@@dtay8913 yea that would’ve been cooler for a flagship sedan
@@yes8032 Cadillac’s upcoming flagship EV Celestiq will have a pillar to pillar freeform display. It’ll span across the dashboard, it’s stunning. gmauthority.com/blog/2021/01/gm-teases-the-cadillac-celestiq-show-car-video/
@@justinsmith2598 that’s indeed a gorgeous car I can’t wait for it 👍
I was thinking I didn't like the smaller size Cadillac but after your review and watching you drive the car I've crossed over and I like it. I was hoping I could fit about 10 of the full size Butterfinger candy bars in the door pockets but I can live without it.
Great review Joe, you keep me laughing!
Beautiful design nice interior very sportly great exhaust
My man! another superb review! always liked the V! they hold that value as well! all I wanted as the V wagon and man they are holding that value! Lori again with that camera work! dyno-mite!!! lol !
Great review Joe Thanks 😊
You are so very welcome Blake!
Nice job! Wonderfully done ... thanks!
Hey Craig! I am so glad that you liked this one.
Lori KILLED it with the cinematography!!!
I'm always thankful to see new rides here first. Other car reviews put me to sleep. I'm a huge fan of the original CTS-V. Not sure how I feel about this one yet.
Thanks for being so supportive and letting me share my car passion with you!
Thank you for reviewing more domestic sedans and SUVs.
Good video Joe this would be the spec I would buy with red interior good review 👍
HEATH BARS making an appearance in the V series!!! Keep killing it Joe. Im a BMW owner and maybe when Im a bit older I'd consider this, just not feeling the design, much better than in the past though.
Good one guys . Have a nice week Sir and Lori
@Joseph Payton I’m sure he knows it
Look at Cadillac out here making moves all over the place to get back in their groove!!! I'm digging it. Waiting patiently for the Blackwing editions!!! Thanks much these epic reviews here Joe and Lori!!! #RaitisRides #529kSubsAndCounting #OnThrottle #ToTheDoorPanel #TwinkiesForDays #OnThrottleAgain #LoriGotAngles #CameraQueen #Zonkmeister #OnThrottleAllOverThePlace #IfYoureReadyImReady #Cadillac #CTS_V
"10 inches of visual pleasure"

"Don't stick anything in there, it'll hurt"
Joe, you trying to tell us something?😳
You are freaking hilarious!
@@RaitisRides 😂😂😂
Phrasing!!!
Love the measurement references 🤣 keep it up joe!
Early! Addicted to these videos!
Cadillac has outdone themselves with the Blackwings 🔥 The CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing was Cadillac’s last time introducing a gas-powered vehicle, the upcoming Cadillac’s are electric. The next vehicle that Cadillac will reveal is the hand-built, ultra-luxury Cadillac Celestiq, so stay tuned. Great review Joe 👍
Too small.
Love it! It would look awesome with red interior. I would pick it over the BMW.
Thanks for the ride Joe! Well done you and Lori! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Very glad to see this car, but not sure if I’d choose it over a c43. Either way amazing review and cool caddy!
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Depends on what you want in the sedan. Going around corners definitely the CT5 V, but if luxury and better interior materials C43. I like the way the CT5 looks in the interior but the quality could use some work.
Don’t expect anyone to compare CT5 to an AMG C class. A fair comparison is CT5 vs E class (non amg)
I'm going to be a cars salesman for Cadillac in Bahrain next month. Thanks for the review
This car looks so good in red you can't take your eyes off of it.
FINALLY! I’ve been waiting for this review for so long. This car is very interesting and makes you wonder if it’s worth it over the competitors.
I forgot to ask CT5-V or Stinger GT2?
Nice review ... thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏
You are so very welcome Pat!
Quite nice 👌👍definitely anticipating the black wing
Oh yeah!
this is my car that i been eyeballing. such a gorgeous car. Cadillac has always been apart of the family. used to help my g pa clean his deville. i think i may pull the trigger this year
I am so glad that you like this one.
That front end is bomb 💣 😍😍 back too
Really these caddy’s are soo great in being unique this is a great car but the best looking sedan from Cadillac is definitely the CTS
How sweet it is!
We recently reviewed the 2021 Acura TLX Type S, a direct competitor of the CT5-V, and it doesn't seem to deliver the same level of soul-stirring enjoyment that the CT5-V does. That's partly because the Cadillac has 51 additional lb-ft of torque versus the Type S, but also because the Acura also feels heavier and less enthusiastic about in its movements... Motor Trend.
I agree that performance of CT5-V superior to Type S but the Type S just looks way better and the steering wheel and sound system are awesome in that car
@@ericortega5618 the good sound system is only available in regular TLX but not in Type S. And the TLX is smaller than the CT5
I love it my boy Joe keep up the work and I love the video lot real true and 💯funny 💯😄😆
Awesome review Joe! I would honestly wait for the CT5 V Blackwing with that 6.2 liter supercharged V8!!
Unless you make 7 figures a year, changes are this CT5-V is more than enough.
@@wazgoodjj - I think 6 figures would suffice.
I love your videos that car look nice
This seems to be the V badge for people who want a comfortable DD but with the extra oomph for long stretches and twisty bits. Cadillac has been off my radar (outside of IMSA and the Blackwings) but as a daily this has me intrigued.
Alpha platform, still insane!! Can’t wait to see your blackwing review (better be the manual haha)!!!
Wow that car is so luxurious
Where do you get your shorts from ? Awesome video as always btw.
Cadillac or BMW? Joe it’s got to be the Cadi.
The sound of that V6 is outstanding and music to the ears. A clincher for me.
Great review, thanks for the hard work.
This and the Type S are on my short list. I know you can't comment on the Type S yet, but you can comment on the normal TLX on things like, material quality, the tech, seats etc. Here in Canada this with incentives is on par with the Type S, almost identical. But with this you get HUD, digital cluster, much better infotainment in my opinion, high quality 360 cam where the Type S isn't even getting a 360 cam, digital rear view mirror, lighted door sills, lighted door handles, automatic trunk with puddle light, double sun roof, built in dash cam, massage seats....etc. It's a very good looking car and honestly as someone that has never owned American, it really has my attention. Sadly I can't go see either car right now so I'm relying on reviews. Both dealers are 800 kms away. But I have a major spinal issue and seat comfort is #1 then my car guy needs are #2. When you do your Type S review, please compare competition like the CT5-V, even if it's in the comments.
Just drive a CT4 or CT5 Alpha ll chassis. If you can't get a hold of a 2013+ ATS with orginal Alpha chassis. It is worth your time!
My 2 options as well 👍
Oh man. I’m between these 2 amazing cars as well. I do agree with all the extra features makes it a more bang for the buck and got to test drive the CT5-V series and it felt super agile and not a crazy stiff suspension. But on the other hand, the Type S is cheaper and I worry about the reliability and resell value of the CT5 V series. Planning to go test drive the Type S soon and see how they compare. Did you end up making your decision?
Hi Joe! I have some questions though
1. Do you think it needs a oled screen in the ct5 v
2. Are you gonna watch the live stream on the ev6 reveal (even though it was reveal 3 months ago)
and make a review on it?
This a great way to learn english... this the channel I recomend my fellow mexican friends to watch if they wanna learn about cars & speak proper english
Hi Joe can't wait for the 2022 ct5v Blackwing or the ct4v and the ct4v Blackwing
Hey Joe, does this have the trick rearview camera that the old VSport had and the Camaro has? If so, the rear vision should be awesome.
Looks awesome and fun!!
So glad you mentioned the Kia Stinger and Genesis G70 vehicles as competition for this car. Those two cars don’t get enough credit for their performance per dollar.
I just picked up a fully loaded 2021 AWD Kia Stinger GT2 for $45,300 out the door. It did the 1/4 mile in 12.94 seconds at 108 mph straight out of the box 100% stock according to my Dragy.
I don't think the G70 is competition for this car. the g80 would be a better option.
@@wazgoodjj Technically yes that’s true because a G70 would blow this CT5 out of the water for a few grand less.
@@thatinformativeguy not really. Yes the CT5 V is about 10 grand more expensive, but it's a bigger vehicle.
@@wazgoodjj I’m agreeing with you.😂 The G70 is lighter, faster, and cheaper. The G80 is priced similarly and is closer in performance. I probably didn’t word what I was saying at first correctly though.😅😂
@@thatinformativeguy Lol... I personally went from a 2016 civic 2.0L to the 2018 Stinger GT AWD such a huge difference in performance! Freaking love it!
Wow! The sound is awesome Joe! I don't know, it appears it have plenty of juice to go head to head with it's competitors. Great review 👍🏽
Definitely sending Lori some love for her excellent video game! Loved the things that you said about this car, but it isn't a 3 series competitor, it's dimensions are the same as the 5 series, and then visually, when you look at it, it's obvious that it isn't a little car like the 3 series.
Exactly
In your last live chat, you said you and Lori are going back out West Coast to drive the 2 Blackwings in July, right?
Really want to try this!!
Cadillac is still my favorite GM brand, not gonna joke around about it!
True also corvette
@@yes8032 I like the Stingray.
I just picked up the CT-5 prem luxury 2021. Couldn’t find a V anywhere
So sorry to hear that you had to settle.
Nice congrats!
I did end up getting a V but out of luck and perseverance, it was very worth it though. They've only made something like 100 of them so far.
My dealer will order one for me if I want. Told them perhaps this winter once things hopefully ease and cars are more readily available. I couldn’t even find a Premium Lux with the bigger motor.
Now this.......THIS IS A CAR !!!!!!
the wheels look tame n base for a performance trim, one of those rare times i'd go aftermarket on the wheels
Car is really nice. Looks great. Lots of tech. Don't like launch control initiation by the special push of the traction button. Only thing is, ... is it reliable? Does anyone know?
Still eating on the Twinkie review Joe!
heck yeah!
For the money you can’t beat it the ct5v is about $6000 cheaper than the m340i
A decent little tune, and you'll be cooking in it
Joe, did you already have explorer st 2021 review?
Steering feel compared to M340i would be a big deciding factor for most enthusiasts Topnotch review
I love the sound its a beast Ct 5 love dope love to see this in dark blue r dark green
Only HALF a zonk, Joe must really love this caddy!
It was nice but I wouldn't say I loved it.
Hi Zonkman, love this dandy of a car! It's a dandy of a car but although it's not 100% perfect love this dandy of a car.
A real dandy of a car
Rear legroom aside, which would you prefer Joe? CT4-V or 5-V?
Raiti I have to admit at first I was very disappointed with GM when they said no more CTS-V and that it would be smaller and lighter with a new name CT5 well I had a chance to see it at a dealer and I love the new car but no V8 in the CT5-V,what are they crazy? No this maybe the smartest thing they've done yet. This car is awesome it just should've gotten last years V6 from the V series but it sounds great,now let's see that Blackwing which is the CTS -V replacement I know you and I both are going to be in for a treat. Lori keep up the good work the videos look great!!!
Ýu7⁷⁹9ý⁶6⁶6
I LOVE the sound of the CT5-V, not only sounds better than muscle car garbage, but even has an electric car tone to it, just amazing!!! Thank you Joe and Lori, thank you Cadillac. ON THROTTLE!!!
Really nice car
This is a nice job Cadillac! You seem to have really done your homework and put it into production! Except for the notch in the C-pillar window, I like everything I see. Btw, notice how this front grille is present but still tasteful and uniquely Cadillac, unlike the Genesis uniquely goofy grille. I. have AMG’s and an Audi, but I’d give this a look for a daily driver sports sedan. Not a chance for you Genesis. Oh, and bring back the sport wagon Cadillac!
I am so glad that you like this one Pete!
Thanks for an awesome ride! I guess you aren't concerned about running into a patrol car out there.
Truly nothing like an all American sports sedan,with muscle that thing is fast well done.id buy it.
Nice car they have and it’s made it to a twin turbo cardiac. It can be the same thing like all the other muscle cars
You didn't say if it was better than the m340i. Also, how does it stack up against the tlx type s?
I can tell that a lot of the features are shared with the C8. Are you sure that this car doesn't have a Launch Control Mode? Nice content dude !!!
Thanks for letting me share it with you! Not that I saw with my time with it!
Seeing this was 7 months ago I'm sure you already know this but yes it does have a launch mode its just buried.
That motor in the CT4 would be awesome!
This car is much more beautiful in person 😍
I totally agree with you but just wait for the Blackwings!
Does anyone actually use the paddles if you buy an automatic?
Is it possible to remove gloss/veneer from a cars interior somehow?
I really like the CT5-V ... 360hp is plenty of power! Driving in the city with traffic there's no stretch of rode to be going over 80mph. If you're not out in the middle of nowhere on a highway. Just saying!
